According to “Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India”, our new research report, sales of consumer electronics, such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and air-conditioners, increase during the festive season in India. However, the market is anticipated to see downward trend during this festive season beginning end-September and early October that lasts till January-end to early February due to the ongoing financial crunch and sharp fluctuations in the Indian stock market.
 
Most of the consumer financing firms such as GE Money has pulled themselves out of the market, making it tougher for Indian consumers to avail loans for their festive shopping. In such a scenario where more than 20% of air-conditioners, refrigerators and other durable products are sold through finance schemes, sales of these goods are likely to be hit hard.
 
‘It is not like Indian consumers don’t have money to spend; rather, there is low consumer confidence. One possible solution to entice Indian consumer is to provide them with more freebies and bundled services”, says Shushmul Maheshwari, CEO, RNCOS. Consumer electronics manufacturers should package their products in a way that the customers derive maximum value in optimum amount.
 
Apart from manufacturers, retailers should also offer bundled services to attract consumers. One of the recent trends is to package co-branded products and offer them at a price which is much lower than buying a single brand. Maheshwari adds, “I think adopting such a strategy will definitely bring positive results to the sector”.
